I recently picked up some seeds of Anvil and came here looking for information and am surprised to not see a thread devoted to it being that it is one of the three strains presently available (ALF, Anvil, JEM) from Mandalorian. Does it go by a different name? Am I not seeing the obvious?

I know there is someone growing Anvil on here, as I do covet them - might have been High Of The Tiger site tho. ALF & JEM are all part of the Dragon heritage, link to Dragon Meds below.
Ahh, there we go - @Bigg Al was growing them https://www.autoflower.org/threads/bigg-al-does-a-l-f-5-anvil-f5.71873/page-14#post-2182151
Get a thread up mate, you'll find a home for your grow here.

I’ve grown several Anvil and currently have a couple Jems going now. Also previously grown Alf#5x CBD Haze, a one time cross. If you go into Mandalorian Genetics, you will likely see some threads. There were several grow shows for Alf#5. @Dudeski and others documented.

Forgot to include a couple pictures. These 2girls were grown in a 3gallon pot. If you grow them separately in a decent size pot, they can get big, as they sex later, giving them and extra week or so in veg. I had a deep purple pheno and an almost black pheno. Great strain!

Mmmm Tasty. I really dig the chocolate looking one.
Thanks Guys!
I would love to know more about all the ancestors used to arrive at these Anvil F6 seeds. I've read mention of Deep Chunk, ALF, and Bubba Kush. I'm just a new (first year) grower from a newly legalized state. I have always had a passion for gardening and have hybridized daylilies for a many years. I'm a Firefighter/EMT and my position prevents me from ever testing positive for THC in my system because if there was ever an accident with a fire truck or ambulance, it would be devastating for liability reasons. So, my present fascination with cannabis revolves around growing and hybridizing and helping friends and family with some good flowers. I just competed my first outdoor grow with photo periods ( bragging - photo below), but found trying to get these photo-periods to harvest during my cold,damp, Michigan fall weather quit stressful. I'm thinking that Auto flowers maturing in Aug., or early September would be a much less risky scenario. These Anvil plants look to be something that could really be a happy compromise for an earlier harvest without having to settle for tiny harvest, typical of a number of auto-flower strains. I presently have a tent grow (first timer indoors) with the intention of making seeds. I'm only 2 weeks in, but hope to run an Anvil male over a couple Anvil females along with a few other females ( FastBuds C4, Pineapple Express, and Rhino Ryder), looking to make a mess of seeds to play with next season outdoors. From what information I have found, Anvil looks to be something special when it comes to size, weight, and color and I'm hoping that carries on in a few of these crosses.
Now for my Show and Tell :0)
I just took this photo today before tearing what is left of the plant out of the ground. As you can see the bark has split due to the freezing temperatures. I've seen some big California plants in pictures, but I had no idea plants could get this big here in Michigan. I'm hoping that next year, I can post a photo of a 1+ pound Anvil on this forum.

Quality trunk mate, looks like a tree. Have you got any shots of the full thing? We all like our bud porn here
I hear what you are saying about the finishing times, I would be faced with similar issues in the UK. Autos would be a logical choice for you.
DC & ALF are parents of the Dragon range, by @Mossy. I think Anvil is also a off shoot from this. All good genetics, and reportedly very good meds. I was hoping to eventually cross back some Black Dragons with an Anvil.

First Parent in the line JEM: Mazar-i-shariff
Second Parent Afghan
Third parent in the line White Russian (ALF#3)
Fourth parent Deep Chunk (Black Dragon ALF#4)
Then @FullDuplex added Bubba Kush to the mix...
Up to Deep Chunk they have had 15-20 generations of outdoor growing..so they are quite hardy.
I Think FD had outdoor or greenhouse breeding..but you'd best get info from him.
All the crosses up to Black Dragon were high THC crosses..
Best Breeding Mixes for them would be Afghan..Kush...or the White Line..ie White Widow...
Good Luck...

Nice. Thats encouraging, as the FastBuds Rhino Ryder cross that I have planned is Widow and Afghan heavy.
